Welcome to SAM's own Old Timer message list, SAMTalk.
A message list is a forum by email allowing many users to meet online and share ideas, experiences and friendships.
The way it works is that you sign up for the list by sending a blank email addressed to:
SAMTalk_Forum-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
and your email address is listed by the service and any message sent to SAMTalk_Forum-subscribe@yahoogroups.com is "echoed" to ALL the subscribers, including you since you just became one!
Ideas, drawings, photos get shared with everyone and the group expands the knowledge of Old Timer modeling to everyone. It's like having a seminar on Old Timer modeling show up every day in your mailbox!
Modelers Share Techniques, Ideas and helps solve Problems
Need to know how to laminate balsa for strong but light curved surfaces? Need to know which is the best prop to use for an Ohlsson 60 Special? Ask our forum and be prepared to learn from modelers who have been solving these problems for over 50 years! Just recently, the subject discussed was using scalpels instead of modeling knives. Between members in London, England and London, Ontario Canada, our member in New Jersey took what he had learned and shared it online. For more on that, click her to see his posting.

Once you've signed up for SAMTalk you can send an email message to the list by typing your message and addressing it to: SAMTalk_Forum@yahoogroups.com . It's that simple. Emails will be "echoed" to the entire list, giving everyone a chance to hear (and maybe respond) to your idea, message or question. Join SAMTalk today and join in the conversation!

How to Unsubscribe from SAMTalk (Even If only for the weekend)
If you are already a member of the SAMTalk E-list you can unsubscribe by sending a blank message to: SAMTalk_Forum-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com . That's all you have to do. Sending a message to SAMTalk asking to be unsubscribed from the list will not do anything but take up space. You must send a blank message to the address just listed above in Red to be taken off. If you're going to be away from your email for a weekend or longer, unsubscribing keeps your inbox from filling up with messages while you're away.
SAMTalk E-List Is Easy to Join
welcome to the "SAMTalk_Forum" E-list hosted Yahoo Groups

It's a great place to talk over your Old Timer modeling ideas and get feedback from like-minded friends. Get in on the fun!
